Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Roseville public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
November 3, 2026 General Municipal Election and Measure A
A city employee urged a no vote on Measure A, which would raise council pay roughly 325% (about $23,000 more per member per year). Mayor Bernasconi later countered that council members are paid $600 a month and that serving is a financial loss, noting the council cannot raise its own pay as a charter city.
Deferred maintenance in older neighborhoods
Longtime residents of the Northwest specific plan area described broken sidewalks, crumbling sound walls, and dying landscaping, citing a 2025 city notice that the $100 LLD assessment set in 1989 can no longer fund past service levels. They urged the council to prioritize maintenance at Monday's workshop.
FY 2026-27 City Budget
The proposed $885 million budget adds 14 net new positions, fully funds reserves, and braces for flattening sales tax growth. Final adoption happens June 17 — this workshop was the public's chance to weigh in.
